Geoff Merrill Bush Vine McLaren Vale Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre 2019

This is a slightly more dominant Shiraz with a significant component of Grenache and a small amount of Mourvèdre completing this classic blend. It’s a rich and quite succulent wine with a slightly spicy lift. It’s medium-bodied but plush and seamless with a succulent richness in the middle palate. The oak has been astutely managed and sits with perfect integration as a slightly fine, bony character, which adds to its complexity. This is an excellent drinking wine now, and I prefer to tackle these wines with just a few years of bottle age on them.
